Neck therapy plus special tool for cervicogenic headache
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a special hands-on technique (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to standard neck therapy can better relieve headaches coming from the neck. It may be a good fit if your headache is on one side and linked to neck stiffness.
